This was quite good. Our filling was hamburger, black olives, cheese and pizza sauce. I can't wait to try the chicken one! The recipe did confuse me a bit, because I thought the dough should rise some. So after consulting some zaar friends, I mixed the dough, let it rise until doubled, then punched it down, rolled into about a 9 inch circle, filled them up, and sealed with a egg wash before crimping together. Wonderful! Thanks!

We loved this Calzone. I prepared the chicken filling in the morning. Then prepared the dough near supper time. VERY easy and very good. I plan on making the asparagus and brie cheese next. This is a gread find and I thank you for sharing it, Annie H.

Yes! I did a dry run of these tonight before making them for my girlfriend and had so much fun. I made the classic chicken calzone and made only 4. I must say that at first the assembly process was confusing but by the fourth one I was a pro. Making the dough into a rectangle seemed to work best. Thanks!

This was good. I used the beef filling and i added a bit of cheese as well. I found the dough a little tough to work with and I think next time I would like to try it with all white flour. I made these during a OAMC blitz and froze a few of these for my husband's lunches. These tasted delicious dipped in barbque sauce. Thanks for posting!

We really enjoyed this crust, and we made up our own filling. I roasted a large pan of red peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, onion, eggplant and mushrooms. I used this for the filling, along with about 1T of tomato sauce, some garlic chips, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, and a good handful of mozzarella cheese. Next time I might add the Italian seasoning in the crust, but otherwise it was just right. I made half a recipe, and I plan to assemble a couple more to put in the freezer uncooked, for quick dinners. Thanks Annie H!

This was a great recipe except for the directions on the dough were a little vague. I tried the chicken filling and DH thought it would be better with shredded chicken instead of strips. Thanks for a good start to my OAMC stash.

These were okay. I found them a bit doughy. I made the asparagus one which was actually pretty bland. I also modified the chicken one to use garlic-herb cheese and a red pepper/eggplant sauce. Good, but not spectacular. Maybe I should've tried other fillings.

Very tasty crust! We kneaded it for ten minutes before letting it rise the first time. This made eight meal sized calzones! I have six in the freezer for quick lunches. I hope they freeze well!
